Wilarra Silk Scarf by Mulyatingki Marney
Wilarra is the word for moon in Manyjilarra, and also the name of the site depicted in this work. A cluster of saltwater pools known for their healing properties are found at the site, and Martu people still frequent them to bathe cuts and sores. Mulyatingki Marney and her sisters often camped at Wilarra where a wungkurr (windbreak) provided shelter. Of the ethereal work, Marney says:-
In Jukurrpa (Dreaming) times, the moon called a family of dingoes to Wilarra where she cared from them, creating a windbreak for the family to shelter. The dingoes then continued their travels, following the moon to the east, stopping at various sites along the way.
